After a short period of shock, people who gradually returned to normal began to discuss Todd's words.
"Asgard?"
"I always thought it was just a legend..."
“What does reconstruction mean?”
Listening to the whispers of everyone in the hall, Todd stood up straight, put his thick tail behind his back, raised his two iron claws high, and the image of Ragnarok was projected in the center of the hall, attracting everyone.
Another exclamation.
Seeing the gods and enemies dying together, the universe entering loneliness again, everyone in the Golden Palace fell into a long silence.
"The age of the gods has passed." Todd swung his tail, slowly walked down from the throne, looked at the people kneeling at his feet, and said loudly: "We are in a chaotic and disorderly world.
The world, the gods you worship, will never answer your call! When you are hungry, they say nothing; when you are plagued by illness, they say nothing; when you suffer injustice
Even then, they still didn’t say a word!”
Hundreds of people in the Golden Palace listened quietly to the words of the dark monster in front of them. Doubt, uneasiness, pain and... confusion remained on everyone's face.
Todd waved a pair of iron claws away, and one picture after another, and one sound after another, appeared in the center of the hall. Unarmed civilians were slaughtered, refugees without food were exchanged for food, and patients infected with diseases
Waiting for death quietly on the bed, the ownerless corpse in the wilderness was eaten by wild dogs.
Todd looked into the eyes of a captured Ulster noble and asked loudly: "You always say that God is omnipotent and that God loves believers deeply. Then I have a question. This is how the so-called God loves you.
?”
"If God is omnipotent, then where were they when war, famine, pestilence and death were like tarsal maggots, eroding the entire world? Maybe some of you would say this is a revelation, this is a trial.
.Then another question comes, if God is really merciful, then why does this trial not come on the heads of those pagans and hypocrites, but persecutes you devout believers?!"
"Wake up!" Todd waved his hand vigorously, and the scene in the hall turned into countless dead souls wailing in hell: "The gods you talk about are either deceivers who only tell lies and hide in the sky;
They are just hypocrites who only care about themselves and care about the believers."
"My ancestors, the former rulers of Asgard, were superstitious about power and addicted to pleasure, and ultimately ended up being annihilated." Todd's body was surrounded by flames and frost, and he turned back.
When he got to the throne, he looked at everyone and said, "I inherited the power of my ancestors, but I don't intend to repeat their mistakes!"
A shaman who looked quite old knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Great son of the gods, how do you plan to rebuild Asgard?"
Todd closed his hands, closed all the images in the hall, and said: "First of all, I want to correct the bias of the gods. In the past era, the gods mostly only focused on the criteria for selecting heroic spirits and conferring godhood.
Warriors. Those who bravely die in battle can enter Valhalla, but they never ask why they died in battle and how their lives were."
"And people who are born, old, sick and die, no matter what good deeds they have done or what achievements they have completed in their lives, they will all be sent to the underworld of Heim after death and suffer the pain of eternal night and cold winter."
Todd pointed his finger at the hundreds of people in the Golden Palace and asked: "Don't you think this choice is strange? A person who was blasphemous, killed indiscriminately, and sinister during his life, only needs to use one weapon before he dies.
A glorious and heroic death can obtain a ticket to enter the holy realm. And another person, who diligently completes his work, helps the weak, and fights evil, in the end must be sent to the underworld to suffer the cold just because he died in bed.
Disaster?!"
Todd's words caused everyone present to argue quietly. Some people said that the teachings of the gods advocated force and conquest, brought war and death to the world, and should indeed be revised; others said that these are traditional principles. How to modify them?
Todd ignored other people's comments and stretched out his hand to summon a mirror, a basket of stones and a huge scale.
Looking at the objects in front of them, everyone present was stunned. Some people asked strangely: "What are these?"
Todd first pointed his hand at the mirror: "This mirror is the well of destiny. It can show a person's behavior and experiences throughout his life."
Next came a basket of stones: "These are the stones of good and evil. They will judge a person's life's actions as good or bad, and they will also adjust the weight of the stones according to the magnitude of good and evil."
Finally, there is the huge scale: "This thing is the stand of judgment, which will adjust the direction of the scale according to the good and evil of people."
"I say this, maybe it is still difficult for everyone to understand how they work, so why not find someone to actually use them." After Todd said this, he looked around the crowd and saw a young man cowering at the back.
"It's you."
Todd's iron claws stretched forward, and the young man was dragged to the mirror by a huge force in the air.
"No! I don't want to see this!"
The young man struggled desperately in front of the mirror, trying to stay away from this dark unknown.
Using the method of soul invasion, Todd retrieved all the other party's memories from birth to the present, and transferred each scene into the mirror.
The originally dark mirror surface changed, like a projection in a well, and the life of this young man named Sandra appeared completely before everyone's eyes.
As a child, Sandra rescued a deer that fell into a trap in the forest near her hometown. After the playback of this event, a thumb-sized stone slowly flew up from the basket, and finally fell into the scale to represent
The kind side.
When she was a teenager, Sandra and several friends punished a businessman who came to the village to cheat, and helped the villagers recover the money they had defrauded. A stone the size of a palm fell into the kind-hearted balance plate.
As life progresses, stones of different sizes, representing good and evil, slowly fly into the two ends of the scale. But in general, the weight of good is still far greater than the weight of evil.
Things gradually began to change when Sandra's village was captured by the Ulstermen and he was captured as a slave and sent to the ancient city of Gug.
When Todd's army broke through the ancient city, Sandra, who had regained her freedom, rushed into her master's mansion and plunged her sharp sword into this evil and murderous Ulster man.
It took a while for the stone to finally fall into the good end of the scale.
But what happened next took a turn for the worse. Sandra, who had tasted the pleasure of killing for the first time, rushed into the manor with a torch and a long sword, killing everyone on sight. When he killed the guards and thugs, the stones were still falling.
He entered the good end; but when he didn't even spare the maid, the cook, the gardener, and even the swaddling baby, the stones continued to fall into the evil end.
At this time, the balance has gradually balanced and is developing towards the worst situation.
When Sandra boarded the cargo ship bound for Froststone Camp, he and several companions sneaked into the basement of the Ulster prisoner at night, raped and brutally killed one in front of the victim's family.
The Ulster woman disfigured her body with a torch and threw her body into the sea.
A stone the size of an apple flew into the evil end of the scale.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Todd sighed.
After the ship docked, Sandra, who was completely immersed in the pleasure of violence, had no intention of stopping.
He took the lead in organizing several horrific acts of violence against Ulster prisoners. He even prepared a box in which to store body parts of his victims as trophies. Sometimes teeth,
Noses, ears, sometimes even human skin cut off from living people...
One heavy stone after another flew into the evil disc of the scale. In the end, the scale, which could no longer bear the weight, completely tipped to the evil end, and the balance was never restored.
Todd stepped down from the throne and looked at the earth-colored young man lying on the ground, frowning and saying nothing.
"I'm not wrong! It's the world that's wrong!"
Sandra beat the ground of the Golden Palace with both hands, twisting her body crazily: "My mother and sister were killed like livestock by those Ulster bastards! Their human skin was peeled off
Made into an excellent canvas! I can still hear their cries before they die in my dreams! Why?! Why can’t I return my pain to them?! This is unfair!”
Todd changed from the tyrant form to the human form again. He knelt down, looked at the violent young man in front of him, and said softly: "There is nothing wrong with revenge, and there is nothing wrong with eradicating evil. The only thing wrong is that after you kill the devil
, an inner demon lives in your soul, and it turns you into another demon completely..."
Standing upright, Todd looked at the crowd around him: "This is the new order I am talking about. I hope to incorporate the good and evil of human beings into the teachings of Asgard through the judgment of fate. In addition,
There is also a series of new teachings that I will let the shamans pass on to everyone here..."
Just when Todd was about to introduce the doctrines contained in the new religious belief, someone suddenly asked: "Great son of the gods, how will this sinner be dealt with?"
Todd stopped talking, looked at Sandra, and shook his head helplessly.
After a snap of his fingers, a huge black hole appeared directly above the hall, and a group of terrifying evil spirits emerged from the black hole, dragging Sandra, who screamed in fear, into the boundless darkness.
Just when everyone was in shock, Todd re-sealed the black hole and said: "His soul has been sent to the bitter cold place of the underworld, where he will always regret what he has done."
At first it was just one person, then a group of people, and finally everyone fell to their knees, praising the justice of the Son of the Gods.
Todd looked at the crowd in front of him and continued: "Since all believers have recognized the judgment of the soul, I will explain in detail what the other doctrines are... The first one is..."
After the meeting in the soul space, Sandra's body lay on the square, looking particularly dazzling.
Under the words and deeds of the attendees that night, the new teachings of the Sons of the Gods quickly spread throughout the camp.
People's beliefs gradually unified under Todd's control.
After this, there are several interesting things.
1. The leader of the tribe named Aimo, after participating in the Soul Gathering, took the initiative to return the confiscated trophies to the warriors of the tribe, and promised not to get involved in the personal belongings of those who had made contributions to the war.
Second, the trend of benevolence gradually prevailed in the camp. The concepts of unity and assistance gradually broke down the barriers between races and factions.
Third, one month after the rally was held, people spontaneously organized and worked together to build a temple in the square of the camp, which was dedicated to Todd's tyrant form.
